Lemon Curd

Spare a thought for Crabtree & Evelyn, the company that makes our lemon curd. Originally each batch had to be stirred continuously for 45 minutes to make sure it was heated through perfectly.

After years of stirring, to prevent the staff's elbows from wearing out completely they invested in a specially designed piece of equipment to replicate the hand stirring process. This is the kind of dedication we look for from our producers – an attitude and determination that gets the best possible food without short cuts.

Unlike other lemon curds, there’s no margarine, no bits of egg and no artificial flavouring. Instead it’s simply whole organic eggs and butter from the UK, organic sugar, a touch of fruit pectin to set it, and organic lemon juice and lemon oil from the lush, terraced citrus groves of Sicily.

Compared to the other jams and marmalades that Crabtree & Evelyn make for us, the butter means lemon curd has a short shelf life – no more than nine months.

Open a jar and taste it, though, and we seriously doubt you’ll take that long to finish it.
